Yo. Evening. Sun just dropped below Newport across the bay. First night in a while I could cool my little belly on the deck instead of being cooped up in the AC'ed cabin. Have had to file a flight plan to get off this bloody maze of docks just to have a little POSH before bed. We were driven out of Block Island this am by the swarm of tourists descending on the Boat Basin. Unlike yesterday - I could see a paw in front of my snout - no fog today!
We beat it out of Great Salt Pond and banged a right to skirt yet another lousy light house where we had to stop for pix before heading for Jamestown. We had quite a roller-coaster ride here from Block over these huge swells that had us bobbing to and fro. Every time we went up a swell, After You went down one - and totally out of sight until it would pop up on the next one! I got a little but woozy in the process- but today at least we could see land all the way.
At one point it looked like After You and Taking Stock were vying for the same space on the same wave - a little too close for my comfort - good thing I had left a deposit at BI before we left - or I might have left it on the same spot. All was well, however - when speeds were adjusted and swells no longer shared. You would think on an ocean the size of the Atlantic, they could stay far enough apart!
We chugged in to Jamestown about noon. Hotter than Hades in the sun here then on the dock and lots of little swells coming in to give a rock and roll ride all afternoon and likely tonight. Good thing I like a good cradle!
We hot footed it (literally) around town this afternoon and then broke in the late pm for some R&R on the boats. Best part about the walk: my Snausages supply was replenished!! After dinner we were treated to a 50's rock concert at the waterfront and I got to dance on the dock! I love Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis! My rhythm isn't great - the front end and back end have trouble synching up - but when I wag my tail, no one seems to notice. Tomorrow we are off to Bristol and our last night on this lousy mattress for a while. I am beginning to look forward to my own comfy bed that I do NOT share. At least there are no nasty swans here to try to horn in on my territory.
They just turned the lights on the Jamestown Bridge! - I know - we dogs get excited about the weirdest things. Adios amigos! W
